Due to the causative factors, Vaatadosha vitiates and move irregularly all over the body and cause imbalance in circulation & metabolism. Due to either obstruction in the channels or degeneration of body tissues, the movement of Vaata gets in an unbalanced state. This vitiated Vaata gets lodged inside the sacrum and hip joint, causing pain, stiffness and associated problems.

Chikithsa
The ayurvedic treatment depends upon whether the katigraha is saama or niraama. If aama is present, only rooksha therapies are done in the beginning. Application of Vaatahara oils and ghee preparations should wait until the aama is completely cleared and the srotas (channels) are open completely. If the Vaatakopa is due to obstruction, the pain will be relieved once the channels are open and the movement of Vaata is in normal balanced condition.

Home remedies
Over-the-counter pain medications can frequently alleviate the pain.
Take enough rest. Immobilisation is very important in relieving the pain.
Applying ice can help with pain and inflammation.
A hip or low back brace/belt can help immobilisation and support. It should not be tight and should be removed at night.
Diet
- To be avoided
Heavy meals and difficult to digest foods – cause indigestion.
Junk foods- cause disturbance in digestion and reduces the bioavailability of the medicine
Carbonated drinks – makes the stomach more acidic and disturbed digestion
Refrigerated and frozen foods – causes weak and sluggish digestion by weakening Agni (digestive fire)
Milk and milk products – increase kapha, cause obstruction in channels and obesity
Curd – causes vidaaha and thereby many other diseases
- To be added
Light meals and easily digestible foods
Green gram, soups, sesame oil, ragi.
Freshly cooked and warm food processed with cumin seeds, ginger, black pepper, ajwain etc

RESEARCH ARTICLES
doi: 10.19082/2094
A total of 136 patients were evaluated to determine the frequency of sacroiliitis causes. 8.8% had had infectious causes, 88.2% had inflammatory non-infectious causes, and 2.9% had degenerative causes. Based on the results, inflammatory non-infectious causes are placed at the top of the list of sacroiliitis causes, but infectious causes, including brucellosis should always be considered.
